I agree, 600 N LSD has meant packing up from the beach much earlier than usual :(

Adding in the bunched together towers/small floor plans - these were built 100% for profit. It is a shame when the city has to suffer because people are greedy. I wish there were approvals based on quality of life for those of us living in the city, but I don't think that will ever happen in Chicago.
